bimetallists meet New England League Conference Begins at Providence. THE FIRST MEETING REID ON SUNDAY Prominent Speaker* Address Immense Throngs Who Assemble at Crescent Park. The first of the aeries of meetings arranged by the New England Bimet¬ allic League in the interest of bimetal¬ lism washehl at Crescent park, Provi¬ dence, R. I., Sunday afternoon. The session was held in a lajge open area, the audience occupying the seats of the grand stand surrounding it. All around the platform on the outside were the noisy money-making attrae tractions of Crescent park which in terferred at times with the attention of the audience to the speakers and with the ability of the speakers to make themselves heard. The platform W'as decorated with the national colors, together with those of Great Britian, Ireland, France and Cuba. Judge James P. Tarvin, of dwelt Kentucky, was the first speaker. He on the imperial policy of the McKinley. government and severely arraigned Congressman John J. Lentz, of Co¬ lumbus, Ohio, was the next speaker. His sarcastic references to President Philippine McKinley and his arraignment of the war and his eulogy of Ag uinaldo as of the greatest men of the century was applauded. Among other things Congressman Lentz said: “From Ohio w r e look to Netv England with amazement when we see the cringing Rervily of its masses to that plutocratic oligarchy, which is more arbitrary and more inconsistent than any “You monarchy in Europe. will pardon me for telling you that the thinking people of the Buck¬ eye land are more thau surprised when they find that in this old New England country there are today so many blind and servile followers of an administration which cannot quote a single thought, nor a single sentence either from Washington, Jefferson, Jackson or Lincoln in support of its policy of imperialism and militarism, in support of its British financial policy, its British colonial policy and its attempted British alliance.” There was some cheering when ex Governor John P. Altgeld, of Illinois, was introduced. Owing to the fact that his address in New York on La¬ bor Day was to be devoted to a detail¬ ed discussion of the monetary ques¬ tion, he simply dealt in generalities at the meeting. The second meeting of the league held Monday afternoon was very largely attended, and representative democrats from all the New England states occupied the platform. Resolutions declaring for free sil¬ ver, against militarism and urging the nomination of William Jennings Bryan for president were unanimously adopt¬ ed. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, was one of the speakers. Mr. Till¬ man said: “If it was right to free Cuba because Spain was shooting Cu¬ bans to death, how is it to be recon¬ ciled with the fact that the United States, who now owns the Philip¬ pines, are now shooting the Filipinos to death. ” He said that he believed the presi¬ dent is honest in his belief that he is doing his duty, but claimed that he only looked at the one fact that the United States bought these islands from Spain. He asked where the honor was in the Philippine war. South Carolina will at any time send as many men in to its population as any state to any war of decency and hon¬ or, but it will not send a regiment to the Philippines. DISASTROUS BOILER EXPLOSION. Five Men Killed at Republic Irom Works In Pittsburg, Pa. A boiler explosion at the Republic Iron Works, at Pittsburg, Pa., shortly before daylight Friday, killed five men and seriously injured seven others. A fire which broke out fol¬ lowing the explosion added to the horror. The mill was partly wrecked and the entire plant was closed down. The explosion occurred just as the night force was leaving and the day force was going on duty, and there were only a few men in the mill at the time. If it had happened a half hour later, the list of dead and injured would have been appalling. WAGERS ON COTTON CROP. Two Prominent Galveston. Texas, Citizens Make a Bet. At Galveston, Texas, Thursday, a wager of $5Q0 a side was posted be¬ tween Major R. G. Lowe, vice pres¬ ident of The Galveston-Dallai News, and ’fhornas Taylor, prominent cotton man. Lowe wagers that the Texas cotton crop of 1899-1900 will be 500,000 baled short of that of 1898-1899. Tay¬ lor bets that it will not. MEXICAN STREET NAMES. A Fashion tn Nomenclature That Is Appal* It g to the Strang;r. The street names of Mexico are something really appalling to the new¬ comer. Some years ago the streets of the city were renamed systematically with numerical avenues running east and west, and streets north and south, and although the new names are prom¬ inently posted on all the corner houses, they are never used except in official documents. Every one uses, the old names. Many of these are place names, or streets are. named for some oceur rence or tradition, or for the character of the trades that formerly predomi¬ nated in them. The number of names Is infinitely multiplied because each block is regarded as a street and has a separate name. When the name of a street continues the same through more than one block, the various squares are designated as first, sec¬ ond, third, etc. Many of the street names seem very odd to foreigners. Those named for the deity and religi¬ ous personages are numerous. For in¬ stance, there is the Heart of Jesus street, and the street of the Holy Ghost; Ave Maria street, and the ave nue of the Love of God. Others are the street of the Saint of the True Cross, the Arches of Bethlehen, and the Graves of Saint Sunday street, the Bridge of Saint Peter and Saint P ml, and the street of The Crosses of Sor row. Not only are the names of streets un¬ usual, but they are often found In the most incongruous locations. For in¬ stance, if you walk down Jesus street, and continue in the second block, you will be startled to find that you are then on the street of the New Slaugh¬ ter House. The Alley of the Egg and Potato street are just as likely to be the prolongation of the Back of Saint Teresa street as any other. The street of the Seven Princes may no longer be inhabitated by royalty, but the avenue of Illustrious Men was named for real persons. The street of the Lost Child derived its name flora a popular tradi¬ tion, but the avenue of the Fifth of May was named for a famous battle with the French. There are a larfee number of the capi¬ tal’s streets named for living things. There are the street of the Little Bird, street of the Fish, Bull street and Goat street, and streets of the Flies, Rats and Roosters. Then there are the the streets named for various trades¬ men, as the streets of the Hatters, To¬ bacconists, Coachmen, Milkmen, etc. One short block glories in the name of the street of the False Entrance of Saint Andrew. The alley of the Little Candle Shop, the street of Heads, street of a Thousand Wonders, the Square of the Thief, are other oddities. It is not recorded exactly as to wheth¬ er Sad Indian street and the street of Crazy People were named after those who endeavored to learn all the street names of the City of Mexico, but if you at least feel inclined to use harsh language after trying it yourself, you should first go over to Devil Street Modern Mexico. A Georgia Genus. A discovery has just been made by the merest accident by the Yoeman in the person of a young man scarcely twenty years old. His name is Charles Aired and his home has been at Theo Hall’s for several years. Charlie, as he is known in the neighborhood, is a perfect genius in original 'inventions with engines and machinery. He is of slight stature, very quiet and unassum¬ ing and there is not one man in a thous¬ and W'ho would suspect that in this quiet lad was hidden the peculiar gen¬ ius that makes great men. Charlie has already invented, made and set to go¬ ing several engines and machines, all of them being made of scraps of iron picked up in the neighborhood. He gets wheels out of cast off reapers and worn out mowers and from old worn out threshers. He has made a small trac eion engine to run on the road and has one set up in a little shop of one-lialf horse power that runs an emery wheel to gum all the saw's in the couhtry. Charlie has never read any books on science and the latvs that govern steam engines or any kind of machinery.— Wickliffe (Ga.) Yeoman. His Cleverness. Vice-Chancellor Bacon had an anti¬ pathy for one member of the inner bar practicing before him. This man’s services were not much in demand, for, although his ability and knowledge of law were undoubted, he was apt to look at a case from an Impractical point of view', and not to make the most of its best points. It was com¬ monly said of him that he had a twist in his mind. When this man w'as about sixty years old, some one re¬ marked to the judge that he was very clever. “Yes,” said the old man. slow¬ ly aud judicially, “he is a very clever young man,” nnd. after a pause, he added: “If he swallowed a nail, he would vomit a screw.”—The Argonaut. * Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed % t cure, or money your , so not try it? -• The Ingfna's Little Game. , He (elated)—Bv Jove!
